Here are some unique lessons that all the so called film makers can learn from Dhurandhar
1.Unlike the other so called pan india big films , the film doesn’t even try to elevate the hero and give him the so called elevation moments to make the audience forcefully worship him with the use of slow motion and ear splitting background music . It actually lets his flaws and the related consequences coexist, thus making the audience tense instead of giving a clap trap applause.. it is incredible that @RanveerOfficial the star steps back to allow #akshayekhanna to fill the frame because that is the requirement of the story and is a testament to Ranveer’s understanding of cinema
2.Unlike how most films explain, Dhurandhar withholds. Long stretches of silence explode what pages of exposition cannot do in other films
3. It treats violence not as spectacle but as a psychological blow .. @aejazgulab does a fantastic job as the action director who doesn’t care about giving clap trap moments but he integrates the characters and their current state of minds into every ounce of it’s violence .. Gulab’s action in the film is the finest I saw in Indian cinema and I frankly can’t think of even a Hollywood film to beat it from the top of my mind .. There’s a lot to learn from Aejaz Gulab especially for the South Indian pan India action directors because every blow of his leaves an emotional residue, both moral and physical, long after the scene and the film is over
4.It abandons the three act safety net.. The narrative moves like real life , uneven, impulsive, sometimes abrupt , rejecting neat rises and cathartic payoffs.
5.It trusts the audience’s intelligence unapologetically
No spoon feeding, no emotional underlining. Meaning is discovered, not delivered.
6.It makes the sound design a lead actor even in its background noise, breathing, distant chaos, the whole sound becomes a psychology in the film , and not just accompaniment.
7.It refuses genre loyalty because it mixes a blend of political thriller, character study, visceral action film and moral tragedy among many others thus shapeshifting the cinematic horizon
8. For the first time I experienced background music becoming foreground music , that doesn’t tell you when to feel heroic, scared, or relieved. The constant unease yet peppered with a emotional rollercoaster is the real soundtrack of the film achieved by the unimaginably talented @shaswatalogy
9. Dhurandhar treats cinema as confrontation and not consumption because it doesn’t want to just entertain you for three and half hours , but it’s real intention is to stay with you long after the film is over and maybe forever
Hey @AdityaDharFilms , A big thank you for making Indian cinema finally grow up and for giving all us film makers past , present and future too, to once again take baby steps holding your hand
DHURANDAR’s success is not being just another BLOCKBUSTER , it is a WARNING to the film industry to GROW UP
